Background: Great Britain, the dominant industrial and maritime power of the 19th century, played a leading role in developing parliamentary democracy and in advancing literature and science. At its zenith, the British Empire stretched over one-fourth of the earth's surface. The first half of the 20th century saw the UK's strength seriously depleted in two World Wars. The second half witnessed the dismantling of the Empire and the UK rebuilding itself into a modern and prosperous European nation. As one of five permanent members of the UN Security Council, a founding member of NATO, and of the Commonwealth, the UK pursues a global approach to foreign policy; it currently is weighing the degree of its integration with continental Europe. A member of the EU, it chose to remain outside the Economic and Monetary Union for the time being. Constitutional reform is also a significant issue in the UK. The Scottish Parliament, the National Assembly for Wales, and the Northern Ireland Assembly were established in 1999, but the latter is suspended due to bickering over the peace process.

Welcome to my blog, where I will be posting all my news and let you know everything I'm getting up to whilst out in India. I'm going to be placed at Madurai YMCA, a home and school for orphaned boys aged 7 to 16. There are about 40 boys there. Its only a short bus trip from the big city of Madurai where I should be able to get a regular internet connection to keep this updated. I don't know a whole lot more about it yet apart from it might not have any hot water. [View Full Entry]

Peace and Quite Europe » United Kingdom » England » Kent
I love living in Kent and working in London. I get the best of both worlds. London is noisy, smelly, dirty and unfriendly most of the time but also has brilliant theatres/parks/clubs/restaraunts/bars which makes it more worth while spending 8 hours a day 7 days a week at work here in Clapham. But I love to go home every evening and I love where I live. In my little village of New Ash Green, it is quiet, peaceful, there is plenty of fresh air but we arent too secluded or far away from all the things a girl needs in life! [View Full Entry]

Dover Europe » United Kingdom » England » Kent » Dover
Last weekend, Karen and I went to Dover. We left on Friday night after I got off from work since we wanted to maximize our time there. The B&B that we chose was fantastic. A husband and wife own the place and the wife has Celiac's. We had sworn we would never stay in another place where the owner needed to be eat gluten-free. However, I guess it is more prevalent here. Anyway, this meant that Karen was able to have toast and sausage with the rest of her breakfast. :-) They even met us at the door by asking if [View Full Entry]

This past weekend, I went to Canterbury with Karen and one of her friends from school, Lora. None of had ever been, so we were all looking forward to the trip. They took the bus from Oxford on Saturday morning to come to my place. I was very thankful since I had returned from Romania the day before and didn't feel like getting up really early. We then headed out and had a nice drive. The traffic wasn't too bad. This was an interesting experience for me since I had not done any research before leaving. The girls planned everything, including [View Full Entry]

So, last minute preperations have been waylaid by a bout of apathy. In much the same way my reply to most things these past few weeks have been "its not my problem", when discussing deadlines and such. But these week its "what the worst that could happen?" which seems to succesfully save me from doing anymore preperation. Its not like I need to know where Vancouver is. I paid a pilot for that.

The nice lady presenting the weather declared that there was “...autumnal...” weather on the way. Autumnal indeed! Rain and wind greeted me on my return to England following 30 consecutive days of sunshine throughout Europe . I was only boasting yesterday that I had had sunshine every day of my holiday however today it is bloody awful! I really enjoyed my time in Ireland. Ballybunion may not be the most exciting place on earth but the sunshine, beaches and the ocean is a lovely combination. Top that off with the odd pint of guinness and winning some money on the horses [View Full Entry]

The sun sets on my five days in Ballybunion

Dear all, It's been weeks since I last wrote and although I am not writing from an exotic location I thought that it was about time to let you all know how I am doing. Coming back has been easier than I thought it would be in some respects and some other small things have taken a huge amount of getting used to!! I am now back at work teaching at a Special Needs school and although I was exhausted for the first few days I am now back into a routine and to be honest it already feels as though [View Full Entry]
